Manti Te'o Lied about his "dead" Girlfriend

0

I've seen a lot of people question Geno Smith's character for flashing a gang sign at heckling fans. Here we have Te'o who led the whole nation on believing that he really lost his girlfriend to cancer. What a dirtbag.

Who cares if he lied or not? Seriously we're talking about an NFL linebacker...you have felons, thugs, jerks and worse in that group that have been all-pros and hall of famers. If the worse thing he does is lie about a girlfriend who apparently didn't exist then who cares. For linebacker all that really matters is his speed, tackling ability, toughness and willingness to follow directions. If he was smart, or a great leader that's a plus, but if you have a safety or other defensive player that can be the on field general, then his leadership ability (or lack thereof) is not relevant.

I'll end this rant with just one name... Lawrence Taylor.

The 49ers own my heart, but the Chiefs will always hold a better than neutral spot for giving my favorite player a place to leave with grace...

Aptly put! There are much worse things he certainly could have done. To my knowledge lying about a fictional girlfriend is not against the law. One can argue that it speaks to character issues but given the circumstances even that is a weak argument, it isn't like he's lied about doping. It is all ado about nothing.
